Why bother to use secure Enterprise WiFi when I could use Microsoft's Direct Access on a non secure WiFi network?

I've just started using Direct Access at a company I work at - although its limited to Windows devices, it seems to work pretty well.It got me thinking that, if you are in a reasonably big company and you're happy to restrict yourself to Windows based devices, then why would you bother with installing secure Wifi when you could just use Direct Access on a non secure network to access your company's servers and files and services etc - even when working from your desk?What would the benefits of having both secure WiFi and Direct Access available be if you only used Windows based devices??Does using secure WiFi lessen the load somehow for network administrators?Or is it cheaper for an organisation to run with both for some reason?I dont really know what the reason to have secure WiFi would be if Direct Access was available.... but there must be some reasons since when I looked into a bit more - it seems companies that use DA also have secure WiFi...Any thoughts?Thanks!
